If the correct price is higher and you do not wish to pay this, you will be entitled to cancel and receive a full refund of all monies you have paid to us providing you notify us within 14 days of our advising you of the error. We promise we will not seek to correct any error in a confirmed price within 8 weeks of the start of your holiday or more than 7 days after you make your booking.
For holidays of 7 days or more starting Sunday, Monday or Tuesday, the previous Saturday charges apply; for Wednesday, Thursday or Friday starts the following Saturday charges apply. for 3 or 4 night Breaks that cover two price periods, the week in which the greater number of nights are taken applies. Where an equal number of nights are taken in two different price periods, the average of the weekly prices applies.
2.BOOKING CONFIRMATION. A binding contract between you and the owner will come into existence when we issue a hire invoice and booking acceptance. The contract shall be deemed to have been made at no 7 Montrose way Drymen G63 ODR and be subject to Scottish Iaw. We both agree to submit any dispute to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of Scotland. In all cases these Conditions of Hire form the basis of your contract.
3. NUMBER IN YOUR PARTY. It is a condition of your booking that the total number in your party shall not exceed the capacity of the lodge as advertised and all persons sleeping in the lodge must be named on the booking form. Babies under 2 may or may not be counted as members of your party.
4. BOOKING MONIES. When you book you must pay the applicable Booking Deposit as part- payment towards the cost of your holiday.
Your Balance-of Hire-Money is due and payable by the date printed on your Hire Invoice (6 weeks before your holiday start date). For bookings made within 6 weeks of your holiday start date you pay the full monies when you make your booking.
We reserve the right to pass on to you any bank charges and other costs we incur if payment is made in foreign currency, by Euro cheque, or any other method not normally accepted by us or if we have to re-present a cheque or process Late payments.
The prices shown are cash prices only. Where you choose to pay by credit card, we will make a charge of 1% in respect of each payment by credit card. There is no charge for debit cards.
5. CHANGES BY YOU. Once a booking has been confirmed by us to you, should you require us to amend it or to re-invoice you for any reason [including for example accidental loss of the original invoice) then a fee of £16.00 will be charged. Up to 6 weeks before the holiday start date you may change your Lodge to another one within the same park as your original booking, subject to availability and payment of the above fee and any then outstanding difference in price. You may transfer your booking to someone else/another party ( introduced by you) at any time providing you pay the administration fee of £16.00 and any then balance.
6. CANCELLATION BY YOU. Telephone us IMMEDIATELY if you have to cancel your holiday. Then on the same day send us by first class mail your Hire Invoice or take this action through your travel agent. Please tell us if you have already paid your balance-of hire. Your cancellation is effective from the date we receive your written notification. Your cancellation will be acknowledged by us in writing.
If you cancel, you are still liable for the payment of your balance-of hire money. We will endeavor to relet your holiday. If we are able to do so before you pay your balance-of hire money, you will only lose your booking deposit and cancellation premium, if you have paid it. If we are able to relet after you have paid your balance-of hire money, we will refund the whole or part of that money ( so that you only lose your booking deposit and cancellation premium if you have paid it ) up to a maximum of the hire charges we receive on reletting.
All or part of your liabilities as stated above may be covered if you have purchased a Cancellation Insurance and your reason for cancellation is one of those covered.
7. MINORS. We cannot accept bookings from anyone under 18 years of age.
8. AVAILABILATY. Your booking is accepted on the understanding that your confirmed Lodge will be available for your use on the agreed date. Very occasionally," force majeure" does not make it possible. Where "force majeure" ( as defined in clause 9 ) arises, we have the right to cancel your booking. In this event , we will endeavor to offer you an alternative Lodge, if available. If we cannot do so or if you do not wish to accept the alternative we offer, we will refund all monies you have paid to us in full. Where any cancellation or change results from " force majeure" as defined in clause 9, our liabilities are limited to offering you an alternative property ( where available) or full refund as set out above. We regret we cannot pay any compensation or meet any expenses or costs you may incur as a result of any such cancellation or change.
We have the right to refuse to hand over accommodation to any person(s) who, in our reasonable opinion, is not suitable to take charge of it. In such cases, all hire charges paid will be refunded in full, the contract shall be terminated and we will not have any further liability.
If in our reasonable opinion, any person(s) is not suitable to continue the holiday because of unreasonable behaviour, damage to property or danger or significant annoyance to others, the Contract may be terminated, in which case we will not have any further liability. In this event, you will remain liable to pay the hire price and no refund shall be due. The hirer shall also be liable for any damage caused in the lodge. We have the right to enter any accommodation (without prior notice if this is not practical or possible) if special circumstances or emergencies arise (for example, if repairs need to be carried out).
9. FORCE MAJEURE. We cannot accept responsibility or pay any compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our contract with you is prevented or affected by reason of circumstances which amount to "force majeure".
Circumstances amounting to"foroce majeure" include any event which we could not, even with all due care, forsee or avoid. Such circumstances include the destruction or damage of your Lodge ( which cannot reasonably be remedied to a satisfactory standard before the start of your holiday ) through fire, flood, explosion, storm or other weather damage, break-ins, criminal damage or any other similar event beyond our control. Such circumstances also include riots or civil strife, Industrial action, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, adverse weather conditions, war or threat of war, or threatened terrorist activity and all similar situations beyond our control.
